“I was just amazed—Joss [Whedon] is something else, he really is,” Scarlett Johansson told Collider when they asked the Black Widow actress for her reaction to The Avengers: Age of Ultron script. “He locks himself away for God knows how long; I think he has the dark circles to prove it. [He] just came out with something totally solid. I was really impressed by his ability to make this ever-expanding Marvel universe feel very close-knit and cerebral and progressive. I mean this movie feels like the continuation of The Avengers, it doesn’t feel like a tag-on or the rehashed version or just ‘let’s throw a bunch of new characters in there and keep the thing alive.’ It really feels like the next step, and all of our characters, our relationships with one another continue to progress, become more intertwined, more complicated, more meshed. The film has a lot of great comic book moments that the fans are gonna love, but it’s also got a lot of really great dramatic moments that audience members, I think, will really relate to.”

The Avengers: Age of Ultron stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Cobie Smulders, Jeremy Renner, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, with Paul Bettany, Samuel L. Jackson, and James Spader. The film is set for release on May 1, 2015.

@MrBJ I thought that they'd start filming in April, when Chris and Scarlett are done promoting TWS but Hemsworth said 'in two months' at an interview... Maybe they'll just start with all the Widow scenes before her baby bump gets too big.

@BlackJack They obviously did. But I hope that this doesn't mean that she doesn't have many scenes with Thor, since he's going to start filming a month after than her!! I want to see the whole team, fighting the twins and then Ultron!! Maybe Hemsworth asked to start later because his wife will give birth in about two months and he wanted to be with her. If that's the reason, then I totally forgive him cause that's so cute!!!

I'm sure this film will deliver on all levels and I don't expect the cast to reveal what's going to happen within the film and all but all I've heard so far is how much bigger and humorous it is. Nothing has majorly convinced me that this film will take itself more serious seeing that Ultron is involved here. I'm not nitpicking or trolling here but I really hope it follows the lines of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. I've heard how great it's being received so I can only hope AoU gives us a more "at risk" tone than just an "end of the world" same song scenario.

She has got to be one of the most, if not the most beautiful woman I've eve seen. Also, she has a soothing voice. It's somewhat deep but very fappable. Just sexy and powerful. She's the ideal woman, my goodness. Class and elegance personified. Her dress game is on point. And te hair game. The whole package daaaaamn haha

And please, have Jeremy Renner convince me he's actually Hawkeye. The way they did him in Avengers didn't phase me at all. The entire "mind control" with him and Selvig was just cheesy to me. Have him really get down and dirty! Also, if "War-Machine" is actually supposed to be in this film please don't snub him out like the previous films. If James Rhodes is in this film we better see him suiting up in that Black and Metallic Silver armor. No more of that "Iron Patriot" BS Pleaseeeeeee!

I think that Renner is a great choice for Hawkeye but nobody has gave him the chance to shine yet. I hope we'll see more of him in AoU, he's a great character!! It sucks that Marvel hasn't gave him enough screen time and even in the Avengers, where we were supposed to get to know him better, he was under mind control!! Most of my friends who don't read comics think that he's just a stupid dude with a bow. HE'S THE COOLEST JUST BECAUSE HE HAS A [frick]ING BOW!!!!

My only dislike of Whedon's work is his overuse of his female characters. This sets up BW having a bigger part than Thor, Cap, and Hulk which is complete bullshit. Those characters are the ones that everyone has vested interest in. Aside from a very small group no one went to see Avengers for all the Black Widow scenes.
